Court Name: Supreme Court of Pakistan Judge(s): Sajjad Ali Shah, Faisal Arab, Munib Akhtar Title: Sardar Muhammad Asif Naqkshbandi vs The State through P.G. Sindh Case No.: Criminal Petition No. 151-K of 2019 Date of Judgment:2019-08-08 Reported As: 2020 P SC (Crl.) 654, 2020 SCMR 489 Result: Bail confirmed
Judgment ORDER FAISAL ARAB, J.---The petitioner seeks pre-arrest bail in case registered vide Crime No. 151/2017 under sections 419, 465, 468, 471 and 34, P.P.C. read with section 30(2) a, e and f of NADRA Ordinance, 2000 at Police Station Bahadurabad. Brief allegation against the petitioner is that he is an Afghan national and has obtained Nadra CNIC with false particulars. 2. We find that the case of the petitioner is of further inquiry as his claim is that he has only obtained one CNIC and that too in accordance with law. He remained a General Councillor and no useful purpose would be served by sending him behind the bars before the conclusion of Trial. Nothing is to be recov ered from the petitioner . In this view of the matter , we convert this petiti on into appeal, allow it and set aside the impugned judgment. The pre- arrest bail already granted to the petitioner vide this Court's order dated 24.07.2019 is hereby confirmed. The petitioner is directed to regularly appear before the Trial Court and join the investigation, failing which the bail granted would be withdrawn.
